Rotation Sunday School - An Experiential Learning Program.

 

Children experience the same Bible story/concept for 3-6 weeks in various learning centers or workshops such as: drama, music/dance, art, computers, puppets/storytelling, games, theater and cooking. “Instructors” stay in the same room, preparing an activity (with age - appropriate modifications) for the 3-6-week rotation.  “Shepherds” provide a consistent and nurturing relationship for their class for an entire school year. 

In addition to the workshops listed above, there is an optional mission workshop 10:30 a.m. to accommodate children who might be attending both hours of church.  We feel this will allow parents to join an adult class as well as attend worship.


WHO? Elementary kids from kindergarten –sixth grade


WHEN?

 

Every Sunday, from 9:00-10:00 a.m. and 10:30-11:30 a.m. hour. (children will continue to begin in worship and leave after Children’s Moments).
